Beach Battles, Phone Tickets & Penn State Blowback

Nick, Dawn, Greg and Matt Rooney take listeners on a chaotic and hilarious ride through beach culture wars, distracted driving crackdowns and the absurdity of modern life. We debate whether Pennsylvania tourists are ruining Delaware beaches, laugh about parenting disasters at the shore, react to angry listener emails, and break down a shocking $1,250 ticket for having a phone sitting in a driver’s lap. Along the way, we swap stories about old-school MapQuest driving, surveillance cameras, insurance tracking devices and the strange addictions we all have to our phones. Things turn serious — and explosive — when we dive into leaked audio from a mandatory Penn State anti-racism law school course. Rooney and I react to what we see as political activism being baked into higher education, while Dawn shares concerns about how today’s college environment affects students, especially young men. Between Fight Club chaos, James Brown trivia, trans athlete locker room debates, listener calls and nonstop roasting of each other, the conversation never slows down for a second.
